For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the hoagie buns instead of toasting them. Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your preferred level of spice. Feel free to substitute the garlic basil spread with a homemade version or another flavored spread of your choice.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, meticulously blend mayonnaise, sour cream, 1/4 cup cilantro, green onions, chipotle chili powder, garlic basil spread, lime juice, and cumin. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure all elements are harmoniously combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
02
StepIn a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Introduce the ground chorizo, ground beef, and coriander. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the meat is thoroughly browned. This process should take approximately 15 minutes. Diligently drain and discard any excess fat to maintain a pure flavor profile. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
03
StepIntroduce the chopped cabbage, diced green, yellow, and orange bell peppers, minced jalapeno, and water into the chorizo and beef mixture. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the peppers tenderize, approximately 10 minutes. Incorporate brown sugar and chili powder, continuing to cook and stir until the water has evaporated and the sauce achieves a rich, thick consistency, another 10 minutes.
04
StepElevate the dish by sprinkling the remaining 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro and the juice of 1 lime over the chorizo mixture. Remove from heat, allowing the fresh flavors to infuse the savory base.
05
StepSpread each toasted hoagie bun with a generous 1 tablespoon of the chipotle mayo. Distribute the flavorful chorizo mixture evenly among the 4 sandwiches, ensuring each bite is packed with taste.
06
StepIn a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the eggs, 2 to 4 at a time if necessary, until the whites are set but the yolks remain delightfully soft, about 2 minutes per side. Gently place two fried eggs atop each assembled sandwich.
